Children learn best when they’re curious, hands-on, and engaged with the world around them. Earth Day offers a meaningful opportunity to nurture environmental awareness through simple, playful activities.

Here are a few ideas to explore with children:
• Create recycled crafts like an egg carton butterfly
• Connect-the-dots nature activities to build cognitive skills
• Plant something together and watch it grow
• Spend time outdoors observing and exploring nature

Play builds connection — to the earth, to curiosity, and to lifelong learning.

PCI Coaches in the Know

Values aren’t taught in big moments — they’re built in everyday ones.

Joanna Martin and Ashley Yeo, PCI Certified Parent Coaches® in Singapore, recently joined ParentEd to share how busy parents can build values into daily family life. From bedtime stories and mealtime conversations to noticing acts of kindness and asking gentle reflection questions — these small, consistent touchpoints help children naturally internalize important values.

In the conversation, they explore:
• Why values are the foundation of raising confident, grounded children
• How values help kids navigate peer pressure and emotional challenges
• The power of modeling behaviors like honesty, kindness, and forgiveness
• Simple ways parents can start building values today

Their message is simple and powerful: Start small. Notice the good. Name the value. Live it out.

When families share values, children gain a steady compass to guide them with confidence and clarity.

What is 764?
This is an international online organization that “operates at the intersection of violent extremism, child sexual exploitation and other forms of extreme violence, including animal cruelty, self-harm and assisted suicide,” said the Global Network on Extremism & Technology. The group is part of a “loosely connected network” of similar organizations, including those with ominous names like the Maniac Murder Cult and No Lives Matter.

Those who identify with 764 are classified by experts as nihilistic violent extremists, people who are “characterized by the encouragement, glorification or engagement in acts of extreme violence without a coherent ideological framework,” said the nonpartisan think tank Vision of Humanity. Victims of 764 are often “pressured to send sexually explicit videos and photos, which are later used to blackmail them into extreme and violent acts,” said The Baltimore Banner. Most of them are victimized on online gaming platforms and social media websites.

A mysterious, shadowy group has been appearing online recently, and it has parents and law enforcement concerned about potential child exploitation.

Feeling overwhelmed at home? Parent coaching can help create clarity, confidence, and peace.

“I felt as if I had been liberated! Karen Bierdeman catered each of our sessions to my unique personality and parenting style. I am impressed with the resources, professionalism, and passion she brought to every session. She became a mentor, a teacher, a resource, a catalyst, a comrade, and a friend! Each week I looked forward to sharing my thoughts, feelings and concerns and receiving feedback that was relevant to my needs and parenting style. She helped me define my values and then prioritize and organize my life to be in harmony with those values. This helped bring the peace that I was seeking for in my home. Because I have parent coaching in my life, I am now developing into the parent that I always wanted to be.”
